Right, you know me, I'm an F1 geek and this year they are releasing the fuel loads that everyone qualified with - Bear in mind the minimum weight of car plus driver is 605Kg so everything over that is fuel.

Which goes to show that the Brawns are just fucking fast as they are far from the lightest cars out there.

So.......using the weight differential I can calculate approximately how many laps' extra the weight equates to (according to figures from Williams a lap of Melbourne uses around 2.63kg of fuel) and then from that using historical data for the circuit convert each lap less of fuel into 0.125s of lap time taken off...

i was wondering what they where going to do about Trulli. they pushed him back to last because he has an illegal rear wing, but he started the race with that exact same wing, so if he scored points, he was bound to lose them again. i think they should've disqualified them from the start to be honest. in Brawn GP's case there's no final ruling yet, so no problem there, but Toyota knew the wing was illegal when they started, so they should've been banned from starting.
great to see Button snatch the victory though, it looked like he could've gone much much faster, but since the new rules regarding engines has also changed, i think he was just taking care of his engine.
here's hoping for a similar result next race (though i'm hoping for a better performance from Ferrari of course )

it wasn't for the wing, they both started from the pit lane as they did replace the wings. instead:

"Race stewards subsequently handed Jarno a 25s penalty for overtaking under safety car conditions, but the team has filed an appeal within the proscribed time period."

I have the feeling that F1 lawyers are going to be doing ok this year.....

He (Vettel) should be demoted for carrying on with the fucking wheel hanging off like that, it could have come off in the end and killed someone.

Early days yet but not really impressed by the KERS system. I can't see that much gain, 85 BHP for 6.6 seconds a lap but extra 30kg in weight for the whole GP.

Red Bull got hit with a $50,000 fine for telling him to stay out with the broken car - just plan stupid - and Vettel has a 10 place grid penalty for hitting Kubica. It is a bit hard to see from the big screens at the track, but I thought Kubica, even tho on the outside, was in front and in a quicker car. That's the downside of young drivers...

KERS did have to be the biggest let down - no visible impact at all - no Mario Kartness

i really thought it was a racing incident. Sure kubica was quicker, but he put vettel into a corner (:|) Big ups to vettel for coming out and saying sorry!
